THQ Nordic now own Koch Media GmbH

Quoting: GustyGhostLast I heard THQ went out of business. THQ Nordic is some sort of spin off from them I take it?
If I understand it right, Koch as well as Nordic Games bought some franchises from former THQ (America). Nordic Games also bought the THQ trademark and became THQ Nordic - and now buys Koch. So, it could be seen as sort of reunification?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI know nothing about the specifics. However, one thing that's certain is that the Koch brothers are assholes. So all else being equal, things relevant to us not being owned by them should be a good thing.
Koch Media(1) is not owned or founded by any Koch brothers. I guess you're confusing this with Koch Industries(2)?

(1) a not too big German media company, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_Media [External Link]
(2) an big US corporation, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_Industries [External Link]

Quoting: Alm888That's quite understandable. :P However, I'd like to know, how much you already bet on my side till this day. :D
That's... Oops, it's 0. :)
It still is entertaining to have such a bet. :)

Quoting: Alm888Doesn't count, sorry. :whistle:
You're right, but we wouldn't bet a penny on your side anymore. ;)

Rise of the Tomb Raider announced for Linux, port from Feral Interactive

The first part got an offer (50%):

I found it surprsingly good.
I wasn't "spoiled" by playing earlier Lara Croft games though, so my expectations were... "open".

Quoting: GuestYes it is.
I party grew up in little villages with lots of farming (anmd a dungheap next to about every house) here in Germany, that's why I was usure. :)

Quoting: BeamboomYeah, that's odd... But I do know the game works on Linux (I've started it and played a couple of the first scenes) so the DLC pack should be safe. :)
It's Feral - I had no doubts. :)

Congrats!

Quoting: BeamboomI found this on the Feral store that's quite fitting, I'd say: The Tomb Raider DLC pack!

BTW, this requirement for Mac is strange:
"This game is not currently supported on volumes formatted as Case-sensitive."
Don't they have to fix all casing issues for Linux anyway...?

Rise of the Tomb Raider announced for Linux, port from Feral Interactive

Quoting: DrMcCoyI already have this game in my Steam library (from a bundle? Humble Monthly?), but I'm confused about what exactly I have there.

The DLCs are not marked as owned, so I don't have the "20 Year Celebration" edition, I guess? So I'd still need to buy the season pass? Does this include the "Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Pack" one? Grrr...

In short, what exactly do I need to buy to have everything?
I think that would be Season Pass and Celebration Pack. Not 100% sure.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumBut I'm happy to see it supports Tux! Sadly however this means that there won't be a "Linux Support" thread in the forums with some fun arguments between Windows and Linux users as to whether the game should support Linux.
You really don't get enough of those? :S:
